Abstract: he surface wind and stress responses to sea surface temperature (SST) are examined using collocated moored buoy and satellite observations in the Gulf Stream and the eastern equatorial Pacific. Using 17 buoy pairs, differences ...

Abstract: The effects of surface wind speed and direction gradients on midlatitude surface vorticity and divergence fields associated with mesoscale sea surface temperature (SST) variability having spatial scales of 100?1000 km are ...

Abstract: he responses of surface wind and wind stress to spatial variations of sea surface temperature (SST) are investigated using satellite observations of the surface wind from the Quick Scatterometer (QuikSCAT) and SST from the ...

Abstract: The surface wind stress response to sea surface temperature (SST) over the latitude range 30°?60°S in the Southern Ocean is described from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's QuikSCAT scatterometer observations ...

Abstract: wo methods of computing the time-mean divergence and vorticity from satellite vector winds in rain-free (RF) and all-weather (AW) conditions are investigated. Consequences of removing rain-contaminated winds on the mean ...

Abstract: This study evaluates the impacts of sea surface temperature (SST) specification and grid resolution on numerical simulations of air?sea coupling near oceanic fronts through analyses of surface winds from the European Centre ...

Abstract: The dynamical response of the marine atmospheric boundary layer (MABL) to mesoscale sea surface temperature (SST) perturbations is investigated over the Agulhas Return Current during winter from a 1-month, high-resolution, ...

Abstract: hree mechanisms for self-induced Ekman pumping in the interiors of mesoscale ocean eddies are investigated. The first arises from the surface stress that occurs because of differences between surface wind and ocean velocities, ...
